Welcome to the 1000050s Art´s Birthday party!

To celebrate this international event there will be art carneval in the cellar space in Helsinki (spoken word, screening etc.). At the same time in my (Kari Y) open studio in Paris it is possible to participate in the event
in Helsinki via Skype.

*dance floor for those you will bring their own portable radio + headphones (mobile phone will do) fm-radio involved!!!!

In Paris, the address is
15 rue Geoffroy de l´Asnier (closest metro Pont Marie). Open the gate by buzzing the button. In the inner yard, the door is in the right. You need the door code to get in. You´ll get it by sending e-mail to fuja(at)kuva.fi. Without the code you´ll have to wait a while in the yard before you can go in.

2013 is Art's 1,000,050th Anniversary!Art's Birthday.Net - an annual exchange-art event celebrated on
January 17th by a loose collection of artists and artist organizations
around the world."Art's Birthday" is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou.

He
suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on
the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. According to Filliou,
it happened when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water.
Modest beginnings, but look at us now.

Filliou proposed a
public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in our lives. In recent
years, the idea has been taken up by a loose network of artists and
friends around the world. Each year the Eternal Network evolves to
include new partners - working with the ideas of exchange and
telecommunications-art.

Artists have celebrated Art's Birthday
with lavish parties and gatherings, correspondence and mailart, and
through Telematic networks using SloScan TV, Videophones, music composed
for telephone lines, modem-to-modem MIDI connections, early bulletin
board and chat systems, and (starting in the mid 1990's) the Internet

Nomadic academy of experimental arts brings together those interested in arts and alternative ways of learning, promoting the "eternal network" of all arts and artists. Nomadic academy of experimental arts is a venue for experimental art, research, workshops, events, studying and teaching. It offers visibility, resources and interesting concepts to work with but doesn´t demand any ownership on the work that is done in nomadic academy.
